I have been a potter since 1986. Still do one big show a year and it's in Michigan 130 potters attend and it's a 3 1/2 day show. Use to do outside art shows but have sold my tent and shelves. Started doing acrylic painting about 6 years. Have taken classes from big brush teachers and also classes on the internet. Belong to a local chapter in western part of Florida. Have done pen and ink, colored pencil and also use acrylic paints.
